Use Lugol's Solution as an iodide dip for hard or soft aquarium corals

Lugol's Solution is a bio-available iodine supplement for reef-type marine aquariums. Provides a strong source of reef iodine and iodide to reef inhabitants and macroalgae. Helps improve coloration of corals while preventing bleaching. Particularly well suited for aquaria containing xenia and soft corals. Enhances coral polyp expansion, resulting in a healthier environment for marine invertebrates and fish! Can be used as a dip for stony and soft or leather corals. 1 oz. 1 drop treats 25 gallons.

Directions for Use
Add 1 drop per 25 gallons of aquarium capacity weekly to sump or an area of high water flow. Can also be diluted in one cup of aquarium water and administered directly over xenia colonies or soft corals with rigid tubing or a pipette. Do not mix with other supplements outside the aquarium.

Directions for use as a Coral Dip
In a separate bucket add 40 drops Lugol's Solution to 1-gallon aquarium water, and immerse coral for 10-15 minutes.
